As previously mentioned, I wanted to share with you a little insight into the inspiring life and work of Ronald D. Davis (Author of The Gift of Dyslexia and The Gift of Learning).
RONALD D. DAVIS
Even though he failed in the school system, he took technical courses that enabled him to succeed in various ventures. Ron did not learn to speak in sentences until the age of 17. He was functionally illiterate until age thirty-eight, when he discovered how to mentally orient his perceptions, and learned how to read, write, and spell with ease.
Dedicating his life to helping people Ronald D. Davis founded the Reading Research Council in 1981 and Davis Dyslexia Association International in 1995.
Davis revolutionary techniques programs are available in twenty-two nations and fifteen languages.

I am dyslexic. Wasnt diagnosed till i left school. Its great that a lot more is known and people are talking about it now.
Hi Casdok,
Absolutely, hopefully people will focus much more on the gifted side of a person and make adjustments by adding more visual and sounding help.
I love your style of presentation and writing for your blog, it's always informative and attractive. Never entered my mind that you could be dyslexic.
I've heard that Ron Davis is now working on a third book regarding Autism, I cannot wait for the release.
